Pretty Girl Club part II depicts women simply existing. Their selfhood operates

independently of observation as they just occupy their own lives without performing.

Constructed through an intuitive layering process, gelliplate prints are transferred onto

delicate tissue paper then layered to create a surface that feels lived in.

Built through a cycle of construction and destruction, the women on these canvases

mirror the process used to create them. Built up, torn down, buried, scrapped and pieced back

together again, nothing is truly erased in this process. All decisions linger. The layers embody

every version of self they have ever been. Every choice, every memory and every small

transformation is still present, shining through the cracks.
